Brand Tone

Authentic & Proud, Passionate & Story-Driven, Educational & Informative, Warm & Approachable, Confident & Quality-Focused

Brand Values

• •Authenticity: This is paramount. Zwïta is committed to preserving and sharing genuine Tunisian culinary traditions. Their products are "raw and unapologetic replicas of what we grew up with."
• •Family & Heritage: The brand is deeply rooted in family history, named after their great-grandmother, and uses ancestral recipes.
• •Quality: Emphasis on high-quality, natural ingredients like sun-dried chilis and extra virgin olive oil, and traditional preparation methods.
• •Cultural Representation: A core mission is to increase the representation of Tunisian food and culture in the US, challenging the tendency to group diverse cuisines under broad labels.
• •Sharing & Connection: The desire to share their heritage and connect with people through food is a driving force. They want to "immortalize the real stories of our past by sharing Zwïta's food."
• •Tradition & Creativity: While rooted in tradition, they also show creativity, for example, with their "Habarissa" (habanero harissa hot sauce).

Best Practices

• •Embrace Storytelling: Consistently weave in the brand's origin story, the founders' passion, and the connection to Tunisian heritage. This reinforces authenticity and creates an emotional connection.
• •Use "Authentic" Language Sensitively but Firmly: Highlight the traditional methods and ingredients. Don't shy away from explaining what makes Zwïta different from mass-market alternatives, but do so in a way that educates rather than alienates.
• •Be Specific About Ingredients and Process: Mentioning "sun-dried chilis," "extra virgin olive oil," and "ancestral recipes" reinforces the quality and traditional nature of the products.
• •Maintain a Warm and Inviting Voice: While proud and confident, the tone should also be welcoming. Use language that invites customers to explore and enjoy Tunisian flavors, making it feel accessible. Phrases like "make your life tastier" achieve this.
• •Develop a Brand Lexicon: Create a list of preferred terms and phrases (e.g., "ancestral," "unapologetic," "grandma-style," "real harissa") and those to avoid (e.g., generic "Middle Eastern sauce," overly "Americanized" descriptions). This ensures consistency across all communications. This can be part of a broader brand bible.
